Installation doubts
#31
Yes, I've read that thread, but larger files from USB may be hard to manage because my laptop has 160 Mb Ram and a USB 1 port.
And that file is 1.2 Gb.

inxi is seeing 192 but I take your point--even that's not clear. 32 soldered (?)

Memory:
System RAM: total: 192 MiB available: 142.8 MiB used: 42.4 MiB (29.7%)
igpu: 128 KiB
Array-1: capacity: 384 MiB slots: 3 modules: 0 EC: None
max-module-size: 128 MiB
Device-1: On Board info: single-bank type: N/A size: 32 MiB speed: N/A
volts: N/A manufacturer: N/A part-no: N/A
Device-2: DIMM1 info: single-bank type: N/A size: 64 MiB speed: N/A
volts: N/A manufacturer: N/A part-no: N/A

Also what's interesting from the --gfxcard output (thank you for that, BTW) if you do the memory math on

Memory Range: 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff (rw,non-prefetchable)

(last - first + 1)

= FFFFFF+1 = 1000000 or 16777216 decimal / 1024 / 1024 = 16MB of vram on the button.

Gotta run now but looked in the wayback for specs but the oldest thing on that series doesn't quite match what you have, either. They list a lot of modes and depths so it makes me believe it'll support more than the 4. Learning.

I think we've lost our path.

So, I installed again the distro from scratch on a blank 40 Gb hd, plenty of room for a distro that is 2 Gb installed.

I didn't installed anything else, just the distro offline, then tried to upgrade it.

Apt upgrade gives "0 to upgrade" so no need to upgrade anything.

As in the previous installation, everything seems to work pretty fine.

Now I've realized that when the system starts X automatically, it creates an Xorg.log that is different from the one created when launching "Xorg -configure".

Please see below. The former is broken because without the necessary driver I'm forced to shut my laptop, but it shows clear information: it matches the correct module as the first choice, but then it can't load that since it doesn't exist.

The only module I've found is vesa, so where is the correct module (siliconmotion)? How to install it?

More, the binary siliconmotion driver seems not to be available anymore.

OK, thank you for all that. Pretty heroic swapping a laptop drive. Applaud your commitment. Got more data. Not clear if you are now working from iso with good md5. If not, justification of further effort is dubious. File integrity would seem a reasonable prerequisite (perhaps a friend might obtain one for you?). Also unclear whether the DSL File Restore (which should be done before upgrade) has been done. 0 to upgrade also sounds strange (unless the repos were changed in the last couple days)...it would at least complain a little (noted elsewhere here) doing the upgrade before the restore.

By now, you probably have built the module. Might as well try the old kernel--it's much easier than the first thing.

Did you remember to do apt update before apt upgrade?

So which is the correct sequence? dsl restore, apt update, apt upgrade?

I suppose that makes the most sense, yes. But apt update before apt upgrade, always.

The siliconmotion driver seems to have a native bug (segmentation fault), unless there are any options to set properly.
i don't know that, maybe you do.

The same happens with the 1.7.10 version.

OK thanks. Pretty-much heroic commitment on your part. Need time to process and don't have time this minute so quickie here.

It's still udev not creating an fb0. That might be as simple as modesetting not being turned-on or in-kernel and that's what I don't have time to look up right now.

The heck with X (for one test). It's deprecated, but just try appending

vga=792

to the boot string and see what happens.

For the other thing, here--look at this--same basic plan but different device for what I'm talking about. Gotta check kernel config, modules, blah-blah.

vga=792 loops the Xorg.0.log continuously.
